River looks in the mirror in the middle of the car and says: "I didn't see any car that is following me, but I'm not sure."
"If you're not sure we can't take a the chance that you're wrong," says James. "If someone is following and you leads him here, all our plan will be destroyed. Get rid from the car and reach the assembly point."
"Okay," says River and hangs up.

"Yes, I'm following her now," says Jack.
"Stop following her and arrest her"
"why?"
"Because she has the component and we can't let this component to fall into the wrong hands."
"It is better to follow her," says Jack. "She probably will lead us to the hiding place of the terrorists . In this way, we can arrest them all and return the component."

"Probably you didn't listened to me. You have to arrest her."
"I determine how this operation will be conducted, not you," says Jack.
"Listen, we got orders from the Minister of Defense that we needs to get the component as soon as possible, OK?" Says George.
"And I assure you that if my plan will work, we will get the component and the terrorists," says Jack.

Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that. Book Two: Renegade Mage Buy on Amazon! After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity. Now the powers that be know who he is, and hiding is harder than ever. Nor is hiding a plan, just a reaction. Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen. He has to make his own terms. Paranoid Mage is an urban fantasy but it goes rather sideways from the normal stuff fairly quickly.
